Councilman Eric Ulrich (R-Ozone Park) recently announced two Queens Symphony Orchestra concerts sponsored by his office.
The concerts will take place at All Saints Episcopal Church on Thursday, June 17, and at Russo’s on the Bay on Wednesday, June 30. Both concerts will begin at 7 p.m.
“I couldn’t be more happy to announce that we will be able to have the Queens Symphony Orchestra concerts this year,” Ulrich said. “After the incredibly tough year that everyone has had, it is so great that we can get back to these events that bring so much joy to the community.”
For many people, the concerts will be the first time to experience live music since the pandemic began. The two themes for the concerts are “Baroque to the Beatles” and a special performance of an opera. The doors open for the June 17 concert at 6:30 p.m., and at 6 p.m. for the June 30 concert.

“After the incredibly tough year that everyone has had, it is so great that we can get back to these events that bring so much joy to the community,” Councilman Ulrich said.
“It’s with tremendous pleasure and thanks that the Queens Symphony Orchestra is one of the first performing arts organizations to emerge from the pandemic performing to a live audience,” said Deborah Surdi, executive director of Queens Symphony Orchestra. “We thank Councilman Ulrich for his continued support and we’re looking forward to bringing these wonderful concerts to the community.”
